Improving Services and Systems for Transition-Age Youth

The transition to adulthood is a critical developmental stage. Youth experiencing mental health and substance use concerns at this time may also face challenges related to housing, justice involvement, education, and employment. And individuals from vulnerable populations experience these challenges more acutely.

This one-day knowledge exchange event is for service providers, persons with lived experience, family members, policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders in Ontario’s mental health and substance use system. Attendees will learn about various initiatives and how the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health's Provincial System Support Programme (PSSP) has been working with communities to improve services and systems for transition-age youth in Ontario.
